Pitch - Pitch Software
Grades
4 to 12
tag(s): artificial intelligence (339), digital storytelling (172), presentations (43), slides (39)
In the Classroom
Have students design a presentation that follows a story's setting, combining maps, images, and descriptions of key locations. They can explain how each setting influences the plot or characters, connecting geography to literature. Ask students to identify a theme in a text and create a presentation using images, brief text, and possibly embedded videos to explain how the theme develops throughout the story, and then create a slide deck analyzing a character from a class novel. Each slide can focus on traits, motivations, key events, and text evidence, helping reinforce characterization skills.Edge Features:
